very nice vh, try not to ad crap like monster tachos and stuff like that subtle mods always look better, and a very clean stock one stands out more these days than one dumped on 18s just my opinion.

rebuild the motor, you wont find a 202 in good nick these days.

Thats exactly why im hanging on to my Vks 202, @ 95,000km you will struggle to find a lower K original one in good condition.

VH Vacationer 253, VH SL 185 pack 253
Vh 202

I have a Vh vacationer white and no 6 wasnt firing. It turned out to be a hydraulic tappet that was stuffed. I run a 350 holley and a set of headers. A few people have said it sounds nice even with the stock exhaust. Look on ebay for a motor. They are as cheap as chips as nobody wants the old 6s anymore.

Hey vk_pauly

I just started reading your thread. I got my son interested in old commodores when he was 16. He bought a VH for $500 and we have rebuilt it. We decided to get rid of the 253 auto and replaced it with a VL RB30 motor and 5 speed. It was a reasonably cheap conversion. It is worthwhile considering.

PM me I have some old commodore stuff you can have if you can use it.
I am just in Mordy.

Pete

Nice pick up man I picked up my old VN for $300 from my uncle. Ended up costing $1000 on repairs :p
Im fair sure you could get your engine rebuilt for at-least $1000..

Yeah don't add a huge ass Tacho.. Unless seriously, Your car is gonna be in burnout comps, racing .. Or a big v8 with a manual :p
My VR has a tacho.. and apart from telling me how much my car is revving.. its fairly useless.. If you got a Auto.. there's no real point.. Even with a Manual you dont really need it.. You can hear if the engine is screaming for a gear change... :\
